video - Randy Alcorn
In October of 2012 Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Dr. John Akers at The Cove in Asheville, NC. In this clip, John points out that believers get confused, thinking that when they die they will go to the heaven where we will spend eternity with God. However, their is an intermediate state, and intermediate heaven, were we will be with God until He restores all things. John asks Randy to discuss this intermediate state. See Randy's book Heaven for more information.

Do You Believe it’s the Role of Christians to Transform the World into the New Earth Through Social Reform?

Question from a reader: One of the pastors of my church insists that you—and I, since I agree with your view of a restoration of the present earth as opposed to its total and complete annihilation and re-creation—are "cultural transformationists.” He says that I believe it is the role of believers to transform the world into the New Earth through social reform. Could you clarify for me what you believe in regard to this topic?
